Table 5. Results of multiple stepwise regression analysis with serum bilirubin (total) as a dependent variable in male and female subjects.
| Independent variable | Male | Female | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| β | p | β | p | |
| CRP | -0.53 | 0.020 | -0.22 | NS |
| TNF-α | -0.15 | ns | -0.14 | NS |
| IL-6 | 0.13 | ns | -0.08 | NS |
| Adiponectin | 0.21 | ns | 0.22 | NS |
| Visfatin | -0.46 | 0.006 | -0.28 | 0.039 |
| Resistin | -0.04 | ns | -0.35 | 0.020 |
CRP = C-reactive protein; IL-6 = interleukin 6; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor alpha; NS = nonsignificant
Variables included in the model were CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, adiponectin, resistin and visfatin. Only significant p values are shown in multivariate analysis (p<0.05).
